palma 7,416 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Wishful thinker here. I think it may symbolize her twisted love (how to say, like a Bad Romance of sorts ) for her artistry and creative process. Between ARTPOP and Chromatica Gaga seemed to almost dismantle her(former)self to prove that she's bigger than a pop machine and a true artist. I think the mixed reception to the stripped-back sound and themes of Joanne vs the universal acclaim to ASIB might have perhaps upset her. It was almost like when she sang about her personal traumas in an attempt to fix some deep-rooted issues her art did not make much noise (nor was she able to comfort her dad). While the same stripped-back sound smashed harder than anything she'd released since 2010 when she wrote the songs through the perspective of a fictional character. It's like when she presents her own pain through art, it doesn't matter but when she is a vessel for the emotions of this girl she played, the whole world sings along. Chromatica to me feels like the least Gaga studio album that she ever released because I think while the lyrical content is indeed deeply personal, she was more concerned with her work being a "Lady Gaga returns to form" album and she is not connected to the album as passionately as, say, Born This Way. In my head I see Bloodpop trying to craft a less-messier version of ARTPOP and BTW to please her fans as well as the critics while Gaga was not as driven as before to get involved in the creative process. This is all my personal take of course and I am not a Chromatica hater, it's probably my most streamed album. I expect this album to be a conciliation between her personal self and her larger-than-life artistic persona. At this point in her career she has nothing to prove commercially and artistically and I believe it will reflect well on her. She'll go from "my biggest enemy is Lady Gaga" to "I am a weirdo and I make sick music, it doesn't mean I am not being authentic." Sorry for the essay Edited February 9 by palma Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something? 3 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imnotyourbabe10 6,058 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 While I’m back on the clown train with y’all, what in the late stage capitalism are we doing reading into emojis? (Not just us, but her own bread crumb trail, the Kesha comment, etc). What a time to be alive and a stan. The last time I felt this delusional was pre-Joanne era ps, I know I’m writing from a phone made in China through the cult of the celebrity and LSC. Just holding out for more from our lady as the world collapses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
